Step Forward Day is a simple yet profound way for the Pepperdine community to participate in our mission and calling. On average, more than 1,400 students, faculty, staff and alumni gather each year to help dozens of non-profit organizations and special causes across the country.
For the volunteers, the tradition of Step Forward Day reflects a commitment that lasts beyond this single day of service. It is a great way to give back to the community; the chance to make new friends; and prepare oneself to "step forward" for the rest of the year.
All Pepperdine Chapters schedule service projects for alumni to participate in. If you do not reside in one of our established regions, please continue the tradition and find your own way to step forward and show you care.
